Thread regarding General Motors layoffs

We Are Team GM

If you aren't failing upwards, you aren't doing it right.

Team GM means going on vacation a week before your big project is due, so your work is reassigned to someone who will take the blame.
Team GM means walking around with a GM logo on your coffee cup, wearing official GM branded clothing and having the latest GMC truck.
Team GM means going on linkedin, and making a show of how much you love GM products.
Team GM means attending meetings of projects you are barely contributing to, so that you can challenge the meeting organizer with new problems that aren't even part of the discussion.
Team GM means asking lots of questions at the end of each meeting, especially staff meetings to extend the meeting and prove your loyalty, interest and importance to everyone in earshot.
Team GM means being a true believer that the company would collapse if you left, and that despite the fact that you do almost nothing, you are working your tail off.
Team GM means that your entire identity is tied into working at GM and your role at GM. You will tell anyone that didn't ask that you work at GM.

Are they keeping tabs? Are you being scored? Does it affect you when cuts are made?

They're trying to decide new college hires, h1b, or offshore to Bangalore.

Whatever's cheapest.

Hence the reason why it’s taking over 3 months to hire L6-L7s for SaaS roll out across the enterprise because somebody in software product management side can’t seem to make up a mind on whether to hire nepos or actual talents… sad state of affairs in GM.

If you don't help them they say you aren't doing your job.

If you do help them they say you're doing it wrong.

What you described reminds me of all the D-bags I see at work every day.
I totally ignore these people. Don't greet them or ever offer any help to them.

While I see this at all levels and roles, it's way more common with managers.

They rah rah as their main contribution to the company.
